Notes

If you're using frozen cherries, you must thaw them first. Then, add the pitted cherries and lemon juice to the sugar mixture. Then, add the vanilla extract and stir to combine the ingredients. When the fruit is soft and the batter is bubbly, the cobbler is ready. It can be served warm or chilled, but it is best served at room temperature. If you want it to be more appealing, you can serve it with vanilla ice cream.

Alternative Method: Slow Cooker Cherry Cobbler

Ingredients:

• 4 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker:
   • Grease the inside of your slow cooker generously to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Cherries:
   • If using fresh cherries, pit them and cut them in half.
   • If using frozen cherries, there’s no need to thaw them.
3. Combine Cherries and Sugar:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries and granulated sugar. Toss to coat the cherries evenly in sugar.
4. Create the Batter:
   • In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
5. Layer the Ingredients:
   • Pour the batter into the greased slow cooker, spreading it evenly.
   • Carefully spoon the sugared cherries over the batter. Ensure an even distribution.
6. Cook on Low:
   • Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to the low heat setting.
7. Cooking Time:
   • Cook the cherry cobbler in the slow cooker on low for 3 to 4 hours. The cobbler is ready when the top is golden brown, and the edges are bubbling.
8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
   • Serve immediately and savor the deliciousness!

Tips for making cherry cobbler

Cooking Tips

• Fresh vs. Frozen Cherries: While fresh cherries are fantastic when in season, you can use frozen cherries year-round with great results. There’s no need to thaw them before using.
• Adjust the Sugar: The sweetness of your cobbler depends on the cherries and personal preference. If your cherries are very sweet, you can reduce the sugar slightly. Taste your cherries and adjust accordingly.
• Even Distribution: When adding the cherry mixture to the batter, make sure to distribute it evenly. This ensures that every bite of cobbler is bursting with cherry goodness.
• Check for Doneness: To check if your cobbler is done, insert a toothpick or a knife into the cake-like topping. It should come out clean when the cobbler is ready.
• Slow Cooker Variations: Cooking times can vary among slow cookers. If your slow cooker runs hot, it may be done closer to the 3-hour mark. For those with lower heat settings, it might take closer to 4 hours.

Serving Suggestions

• Vanilla Ice Cream: A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream on top of a warm cherry cobbler is a classic pairing. The hot and cold contrast is heavenly.
• Whipped Cream: Dollop some fresh whipped cream for a light and airy topping that complements the sweet cherries.
• Almonds or Pecans: Add a delightful crunch by sprinkling toasted almonds or pecans over your cobbler.
• Beverage Pairings: Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee, a scoop of vanilla bean gelato, or a glass of cold milk – your choice!
• Versatile Serving: While it’s perfect on its own, you can also get creative. Try it as a topping for pancakes or waffles or serve it alongside your favorite breakfast items.
